How do you advertise your equestrian center on Howrse?
You can go into other people's forums, sign guestbooks and tell people about your EC, you can put your own horses in the EC so you have some money flowing or you can make mashes, grow carrots, and get a few boxes at a time. Basically just advertise!
Can feeding a horse sugar give them cavities in their teeth?
It sure can! The horse will get cavities in its teeth if you feed it too many sugary treats.
If horses ears are slanted backwarrds what does it indicates he is?
It depends on the situation the horse is in. If the horses ears are swiviling back and forth and moving around alot they are more than likely just listening to sounds, other horses or you.
If their ears are pinned back against their head and their teeth are bared (like a dog snarling) then they are upset or angry. Their tail may also swish around if they are angry. Horses pin their ears back as a warning to other horses or things they feel are a threat.
When you stand behind your horse you should do what?
Unless you are 6 feet back or at least out of leg range, you shouldn't be standing behind your horse at all. If you must stand behind your horse, always be sure that you are far enough back that if your horse spooked, it couldn't kick you. You should also let the horse know that you are behind it so that there is less chance of it spooking and hurting you. And of course, obviously, don't try to walk behind a horse that you don't know well. Without being familiar with the animal, you would have no idea what to expect from it.
If your horse looses a shoe when you are riding what should you do?
Dismount and go back.
If you are trail riding, its always handy to carry an Easyboot; then you can put it on and continue riding.
Make sure all nails, etc.. are out of the hoof.
Save the shoe if you have it for the farrier.
If you have a very tender-footed horse, and are on rocky terrain, you can try making a "wrap" around the hoof with a bandana and clothing or several layers of duct tape to minimize damage on the way back. Make sure its on tight.
How do you determine if a horse has a smooth walk?
Get on in shorts bareback. If your crotch hurts when you get off, or if you can't carry a water bottle with you because it sloshes all over, then no, your horse does not have a smooth walk.
To be more scientific about this, the slope of the shoulder blade can tell you. The steeper the slope, the less smooth it will be. Also take a look at the fetlock, the thing below the pastern and above the hoof. If those are almost straight up, it will be uncomfortable, and whereas more flat will be smoother.
How do you plant seeds on Howrse?
Well, technically you can only plant crops if you have an EC. But here is what you do if you have one:
Click on the EC tab
Click meadow
It should show the meadows that you have for the horses in the EC
You have to lay a pasture fallow, and then you can grow crops, but you have to buy fertilizer and the certain crop that you want to grow.
How far behind when walking behind a horse should you stand?
If you get up fairly close you can't get kicked only shoved. Mistake folks make is standing where they believe they're just out of range but anything that weighs 1200lbs and can scratch behind it's ear with a rear hoof has fairly good aim. As long as the horse knows you are there you shouldn't have to stand away from him. Put your hand on his back as you walk around him...to the back especially so he knows where you are.
its nasty! it has a shovel to dig up dead and the way back home. its a dead person of how i think. and it WILL give death to people. you can find a ghoul in wizard 101 the game. you will have to download it. a ghoul also lives under the ground. i don't know much but i have red from the computer and played wizard 101. and i will tell you how old i am right now in 2011 i am 8. but i do know much not that much but much!
Should you feed your horse straight after riding it?
In real life, feeding a horse directly after riding can result in colic. Since colic is a very serious disorder that can result in death, feeding right after riding is not recommended. Neither is giving too much water after riding.

Why are hot horseshoes put on horses hooves?
People put horse shoes on horses to protect their feet. This coming from a horse back rider, my pony Holly. Thanks.
A:People put horseshoes on horses because most horses are kept in stalls, and in stalls, a horse stands in ammonia from its waste, and this weakens the hooves, so people put horseshoes on their feet as a quick solution so that they dont shatter on roads or other hard ground. However, what many people don't know is that it is actually better for the horse if you do not shoe him. Horses should be left in a pasture and kept barefoot. They can be gradually introduced to hard surfaces and their feet will grow harder like the mustangs. Shoes restrict blood flow through the legs, send harmful vibrations up to the joints and several other things that sacrifices the horses health.On your horse's page, there will be 2 boxes right above their head. One will be to "re-name", the other to "sell." You have to be on level 2 to sell and buy horses from the aution, though.
How do horses get their energy?
Horses get nutrients and oxygen to their cells in the body via the bloodstream. As the horse eats it gains nutrients from the food(providing the food is of good quality) and this then gets digested and absorbed in different places in the digestive system(fibre is absorbed in the caecum, etc.). As it is absorbed the nutrients go into the bloodstream and is carried around the body and put into cells that need nurishing. When the horse breathes in oxygen and other elements get transported to the lungs. The lungs are full of blood capillaries, this is how it gets into the bloodstream it then goes to the heart and the heart pumps it around the body. So specifically, the heart pumps the nutrients and oxygen in arteries which contain blood to the cells. The arteries become smaller and branch out like a tree into veins then capillaries.
How old would a horse be if it was 20 months old?
No way, most barrel racing horses will start to be as fast as they are going to get. At 20 they are starting to go over the hill and most horses will live to be 30 at the most some more than 30 though.
Can you give your horse some carrot in is feed?
No in fact feeding only carrots would cause problems as a horse is not designed to eat carrots in large amounts. You should feed either pasture grass or a type of grass hay. A horse needs 1-2.5% of it's body weight in food daily and at least 60-70% of that should be roughage, but 100% roughage is best.
Why does a blanket keep us warm?
It helps you keep warm but not by giving you heat (thermal energy). You give the blanket heat and it helps keep your heat in. This is also true among other warm things you wear or use when you need to keep warm like coats,blankets,sweaters,etc...
How can you get a horse to gallop?
Well, first of all you should try trotting, them cantering and them galloping. If you don't know how to do theese Iwould suggest you take lessons. here is how you do it anyway: When on the pony squeeze your legs and cluck you tongue and he or she should speed up. ponies are generally stubborn so i really suggest you start by trotting.

How can you fit 10 horses in 9 stalls if there could be 1 in each stall?
You just put them in a blender!
-And to answer your next question which is, "How do you get them out of the boxes?"
The answer is: With a straw!
Silly jokes, they must be midget horses. And it depends on how big the boxes are.
How much fruit can you give a horse at a time?
Only as much as can be considered an additive rather than an amount that makes the feed seem considerably made up of fruit. Use fruit in feed to tempt the horse with a poor appetite or as a treat.
The most popular are apples and carrots, but there are other fruits and vegetable which are safe to feed to a horse.
Swedes, turnips, broccoli, beetroot, celery and cabbage leaves are also safe vegetables to feed to horses and are frequently added to feeds.
A large swede hung up in the stable can help to prevent boredom.
Some things are not good for treats:
Lawn, hedge or garden clippings (Very bad news)
Cauliflower is frowned on by some (don't know why!)
Potatoes, Tomatoes, Acorns
NB Chocolate whilst fine for your own horse occasionally might trigger a positive blood test, if you are competing!
Remember that a horse's digestive system needs grass/hay as the main nutrient carrier so never dilute that too much with fruit/vegetables.
Always cur fruit into strips or small pieces to avoid choking.
What does it mean when horses show their teeth at you?
What do you call the shouting of a horse?
I had to say this BEFORE I answer your question you have used improper grammar. Now for your answer. A horse screams when it is in pain, discomfort, a mare in season will scream if she does not want to be bred or is playing hard to get, a stallion will greet a in season mare or other stallion with a scream, they will scream when scared or they will scream when play time gets a little ruff
What is basic item called when moving horse from one place to another?
A lead rope and halter is used. The halter goes over the horses snout and ears (like a dog collar in a sense) and the lead rope connects to a ring on the halter.
There would be no more horses in they world. Then they extinct.
It can also cause imbalance in nature.
Is standing on your horse's back okay?
Not really. The horse could easily injure you should he kick. Even if he doesn't mean to hurt you, he might get scared and kick out, not knowing you are there, or thinking you are something else.
no because otherwise it will buck
